U. H. BALSLEY. CABLE HEAD FUR ELETRG WIRES.

No. 456,611. Patented July 28, 1891.

, l screws.-

l the binding screws J are inserted in the frame, passing -thro ugh the strips H ambmaking contact th'ercwith beneath the outer surfano of the frnme E. These conductors 'll may, it' desired, be made of fusible material inf-whole or in part.

I do not limit myself ,to the minor details of construction shown, as they may be somewhat modified without l.departing from the principles .of my invention.

WhatI claim as new, and desire to obtain byl Letters Patent, is-

1. A terminal head for electric cables, corisisting of a'box into which one end of the cable passes, a--frame at the top of the box above the end oithecable, one portion of which isinclrbse'd within '.he box and the 'other portion' exposed on the outside of the box, and permanent electrical connections through the said frame, terminating upon the outside of the boxfoi; connections with external wires and 'terminating at the nsideof the box for connection with the: wires of the cable, whereby the exposed end of the cable within the box is entirely sealed against atmospheric changes'.

*2; A terminal head fouelcctrlc cables, consisting o fa box into which one end of the cable passes,` a hollow frame at the top ofthe box above the end o'f the cable, one lportion of which is inclosed withinthe box and the other portion exposed upon the outside 'of the box, permanent electric connections insaid frame, extending through the 'hollow por tion, terminating upon the'outsideof vthe box` for connections with external -wires and terfininatin'go'nthe inside of the boxfor connec.V ltion withthe wires 'of the cable, and insulatngmaterialilling the hollow portion-of the frame and entirely surrounding the perrita.:

gxe'nft electrical connections. the'rei'nand preventing" dis'placement'thereof, whereby the exposedend of. the cable is entirely sealed against atmospheric changes.

3'. A v terrnin-alh ejadvf'n' the end of a cable of lectric'lfwires, consisting of a closed box into lie end of" the cable' extends, one of the rior walls of saidv box bengprovidd with riesf'of binding-screws and one of theexrivails'-4 et, the. box also'sbeing provided tiicorrespon'ding' bihdi'ngs'crews, and said.

box'fbeing'electrically connected in permanent electrical connections, the kof? tit-'c'"cable beingadapted for connec- ,liortiie'-xbindingfscrews upon the interioro .the-boxand the external wires beim,r adapt- 'iccdconnection. with` the external bindingterminalhicad for the end o f a cable of rical'wires, .consisting of a closed box into which the end of thc cable extends, one .of the interioriwallsofsaid' boxybeing provided with a serie'sof binding-.screws arranged one above "the othieroii the differentplancs andarrangcd in rows?transverseiyacross thc box, simi-lar binding-screws'arranged upon'. the exterior of and compartment back of ling-,screws .cable passes, a frameof vulcanized hard rub- 'ber having one portion inclosedfby vsaid box..-

1ngscrews upo'jn' fthe interior and' exterior sect1 the box and electrically connected in pairs with the internal binding-screws by permanent-electrical connections, the wires of the cable being 'adapted for connection to the b nding-screws upon the interior of the box and the external wires being adapted to connection with the external ,binding-screws.

5'. A cable or terminal head for electrica-l wires, consisting of a box A, having,r 'a frame E, and cover M, forming a compartiment D, into which` the end of the cable extends, the -frameE being formed, substantially as shown, like two steps meeting at the apex, in combination with binding-screws J, arranged .in rows upon the respective steps both inside and exterior to the box, electrical connections H, permanent] y'connectin'g thebindin l"-sorews in pairs, lwhereby the'interior ofthe bindingscrews may beconnected to the wires ci" the cable and the exterioil binding-screws connected' to the wires for distribution.

(l, A- cable or terminal head for electrical wires, consisting of a. box A, having a hollow frame E, and cover M, forming a compartment D, into which the end ot thecableextends,

'tnetrene E, thc said frame E being fortified, ibsiititially as, shown, like `two ste s etingvat, the apex, in combination With h willig-Screws J, arranged in rows li on 'the respective steps .both inside and exterior to thebox, electr-ical connections' H, permanently coun ect-ing the b indin'gscrews in pairs4 and ex tending through the .cxnpart-V ment at the back-of 'thefraine E, insulating material iillin'g the vcompar-tn ient at the back of the frame E, insulating the electrical conf nections therein,.whereby the interior bindmay be connected to thewires of the cable and theexteriorbindingscrews conneet-edtothe wires for distribution.
